Dating & relationship writer Natalie Lue of http://www.baggagereclaim.com explains why mourning the 'loss' of someone who treated you poorly is like mourning the loss of rubbish that you don't really need or want.

Your absolutely right. Just got over an ex like this. I've been really shaken up by the breakup. I have to realize that she used me.

Right on point Natalie! I have never understood why people would want to stay "friends" with someone who broke they're trust, lied, stole, used, cheated, disrespected and a host of other things. A person is more likely to respect you if you move on, set some terms and not be "too nice." Most times, people that treat us like crap want to keep in contact for other reasons than a so called "friendship." I always say that my life is not a revolving door, once you leave, that's it.

Your site has helped me cope with an overwhelming amount of emotional pain. You tell the 100% truth. I'm still not fully healed but the info on your site is immensely insightful and is helping get over an assclown who treated me like dirt and brought down my self esteem. Thank you! Nobody has helped me make as much sense out of my situation as you have!

@bundleHastings: Well they need to get over it. And actually, this problem is a fairly recent development. 50 years ago women were treated with more respect than they are now because it was expected. Most women were not engaging in ridiculous "friends with benefits" situations or supporting lazy dead-beats like so many of them do now.

Oh Natalie you can see straight inside my life!

@qttracy26 "why would anyone care what a worthless person thinks of them?" Because women are raised to seek male validation. It's deeply indocrinated and very hard to recognise.
